Woke up still wondering what to say when I meet the OB this morning. Although I made the reservation weeks ago for another “ailment”, I have already gone to a specialist for it (went negative) and did not cancel the reservation for today (different hospital).

Anyway, I went to the hospital and it was a breeze, the staff were really very nice to me and the doctor turned out to be a very kind and good looking man in his mid 40′s. He advised a blood test to check my hormones and since I want a female doctor to do the pap smear, it will have to wait for until 2 weeks from now, when the doctor will be available.

Anyway,  I went to the med tech area to have my blood drawn and to my surprise, the patient no. that was being “served” was 112 and my number was 176…..hmmn, waiting ..waiting…it took 30 mins (that fast)! I was thinking how much blood is drawn in this hospital for a day…assuming they take 5 mL per person, and assuming there will be 100 patients…it will be half a liter already. Multiply it by 10 days….you have 5 liters of blood! I wonder how they get rid of the remaining blood….?
